I-765 Processing Time After Biometrics (5–7 Months)
Due to delays, it takes USCIS about 150–210 days (5–7 months) to process work permit applications.
Biometrics appointments occur 5-6 weeks filing an application, leaving approximately 16-22 weeks until the process should be completed..
In simple terms, USCIS will obtain your photograph, fingerprints and have you sign your name.
This process confirms your identity so that USCIS provides benefits to the correct person and facilitates the necessary criminal background check.
USCIS will submit your biometrics to the FBI for the criminal background check..
This is sometimes called the "fingerprint appointment." At the appointment, the U.S. government will take your fingerprints, pictures, and signature.
These are used to run a background check and for identification purposes..
The visa processing time in Canada after biometrics takes approximately 8 weeks, as of 2023.
While this is an average timeframe, remember that factors like application complexity and office workload can affect the actual duration..
The biometrics fees are $85 per person and $170 per family.
The validity of biometrics data collected is 10 years.
A new photo and fingerprints are not needed each time a new immigration application is made.
